Yu Shuilian was a little surprised. "Mrs. Jiang, I'm speaking frankly, don't mind. How can you, a woman, want to do the canal transport business?"
She was afraid that Jiang Jiuyue would know how dangerous this waterway was, so she quickly said, "Mrs. Jiang, if you go by water, you must know that there are many bandits on this river. It's ok for them to rob you of your property, but some pretty girls will be captured by the bandits and forced to serve as their slaves..."
Yu Shuilian had the nerve to say those words, but Jiang Jiuyue understood what she meant.
Jiang Jiuyue patted her and said, "Since I want to do the canal shipping business, I naturally know that this canal is plagued by pirates. So why is the canal shipping business so prosperous?"
Yu Shuilian wanted to persuade her, "Mrs. Jiang, our family has no choice. My husband's father is a boatman. He knows everything except making a living on the water. Now he can only live on the boat. You have the ability to treat diseases, so why take the risk on the water?"
Jiang Jiuyue knew that Yu Shuilian trusted her ability to go alone by water, so she didn't bother with her any more and went straight into the room. "How is your man now?"
Yu Shuilian forgot everything else after hearing this and quickly replied, "I'm fine. I just slept very well last night and I'm still sleeping right now."
People with lung disease tend to sleep soundly at night. There is no way to avoid this. Even if they take medicine, this situation will still occur.
"It's okay. It's not easy for a sick person to feel comfortable. As long as his condition is getting better, it's okay. Didn't he have a fever again in the middle of the night?"
Yu Shuilian shook her head. "No, I haven't had a fever since yesterday. I feel much more energetic and can eat now."
Jiang Jiuyue nodded. This body that had never used antibiotics was indeed good at absorbing antibiotics. In later generations, it would be impossible to cure lung disease of this level just by taking medicine.
Jiang Xiaoping was still asleep. Jiang Jiuyue went over and used his special powers to check his body. He found that his inflammation had subsided a lot and he was indeed getting better quickly.
Jiang Jiuyue stood up and said, "We'll use the same medicine today. If you don't use the powder, keep it ready. Take it when the fever starts. Also, give him some light and nutritious food. You live by the water, so fish soup is the most convenient."
Yu Shuilian nodded repeatedly, "I understand, Jiang Niang, I will try to catch some fish to make fish soup for the boss in a while."
As the two were talking, a voice calling Jiang Yuping's name came from outside the boat.
Hearing this voice, Yu Shuilian's face changed. She told Jiang Jiuyue not to go, and she went there reluctantly, then turned around and closed the door tightly.
Jiang Jiuyue felt a little strange, so she opened the door a crack and looked at the situation outside.
A man, accompanied by several guys who looked like thugs, looked at Yu Shuilian arrogantly.
"Jiang Xiaoping's wife, right? When will your family pay the protection fee this month?"
Yu Shuilian seemed to be very afraid of the man who was leading the group, and she answered with a trembling voice, "Brother Li, my husband is sick and has not been able to go swimming for a few days. We really don't have any extra money at home. Can you please forgive me for a few days? I will go out and make money when my husband gets better."
The man called Brother Li kicked Yu Shuilian on the leg, causing her to fall to the side. She dared not get up and could only kneel on the ground, lowering her head and daring not to look at anyone.
"How many days of forgiveness? How many days have I forgiven you? Ah? It should have been paid at the beginning of this month. What time is it now? How long will it take to delay it? Your man has been ill for so many days. I am afraid he is only half alive. I still expect him to survive and make money?"
Yu Shuilian was anxious, "My man will be well soon! Give us a few more days!"
Li Ge kicked Yu Shuilian on the shoulder again, "Do I believe your lies? If everyone is like you, how can I collect the protection fee?"
Yu Shuilian held back her tears and said, "What I said is true, Brother Li, my man will get better in a few days, and we will definitely make up."
Li Ge sneered, "You can't count on yourself if you want your man to get better. You're old, but you're still pretty. Why don't you go to a low-class brothel and hang up a sign and take in a few more customers? Will the money come?"
After he finished speaking, all the thugs around him burst into laughter and urged Yu Shuilian to go to the kiln to hang up her name.
Yu Shuilian was extremely humiliated, but she didn't dare to resist at all. She could only cry and beg, "Brother Li, please forgive us for a few more days, my man will really get better!"
Li Ge didn't believe it at all, "Almost fine? I think he's almost dead! Instead of guarding a man who's about to die, you might as well listen to me and hang a sign in a brothel. It's easy to make money quickly, and it's very refreshing. What do you think, brothers?"
The thugs behind him burst into laughter once again, and some even started to say dirty words, which was unpleasant to the ears.
Jiang Jiuyue pushed open the door and walked in directly. "Then how do you go to the prostitute's house to get a sign? You can get paid by sticking your butt up and letting a man fuck you. Isn't it a quick and comfortable way to make money?"
Seeing a strange woman coming off the boat, Li Ge took a quick glance and revealed an obscene look.
"Hey, where did this little girl come from? There's nothing wrong with her appearance. She loves to fight for justice. How about you pay off my debt to Wang Dali for the Jiang family?"
Jiang Jiuyue looked at him coldly, "Repay the debt? Does protection money count as a debt?"
Wang Dali smiled even more lasciviously, "Of course, but as long as you sleep with me for a few nights, this debt will be written off."
Jiang Jiuyue is now the same poor peasant woman she used to be. She looks more and more like herself in her previous life, with a pretty face, graceful figure, and a unique temperament.
Yu Shuilian was anxious. Jiang Niang was their family's savior, how could she be defiled by Wang Dali, a bastard!
"That's fine! You can't touch Jiang Niang! She's our family!"
Wang Dali ignored her and walked to the bow. His dirty hands were about to touch Jiang Jiuyue's face, but the next second, he started howling wildly.
"My hand! My hand! Ah!!!"
Jiang Jiuyue would show no mercy to people like Wang Dali. With quick, accurate and ruthless hands, she twisted both of his hands off and kicked him in the chest.
At the moment Wang Dali flew away, the sound of broken bones could be heard.
Amid the shocked gazes of his men, Wang Dali fell heavily to the ground, spit out a large mouthful of blood, tilted his head, and fainted.
Yu Shuilian was shocked. Was she dreaming?
The gentle Jiang Niang actually beat the domineering Wang Dali at the dock to the point of vomiting blood?
Wang Dali's men reacted even faster. Their boss was beaten like this by a woman?
Jiang Jiuyue walked down the bow step by step, kicked the unconscious Wang Dali aside, and looked at a few gangsters who were still immersed in shock and unable to recover.
"You followed Wang Dali to bully the people, right? Since you like being a lackey so much, your boss has already done this, so you should follow suit, right?"
Several people retreated and tried to run, but they were no faster than Jiang Jiuyue and were all caught in an instant.
Jiang Jiuyue moved very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the legs of several people were all removed. They could only lie on the ground and let Jiang Jiuyue slaughter them.
